The way in

Come and make something.

Membership is not a form you fill and forget. You ask, you are taught the House’s way of working, and then a work of your own goes on the register.

A seasonal offer

The Founding Membership

A lifetime membership of the Bezalel Institute, opened to a few by the President's own hand, for as long as this season stands.

21 days and 21 hours left to apply

Closes 1 December 2026, 23:59 in Kampala

What it grants

  • Lifetime membership of the Bezalel Institute.
  • Lifetime access to the five founding courses.
  • The member's life of the Institute: the Board, the register of works, the groups, and what the Institute opens to its members.

Lifetime — Courses published after the five founding courses may be charged separately.

The five founding courses

  1. 1 The Spirit of Innovation
  2. 2 The course on artificial intelligence — in preparation — it opens to members as it is released

  4. 4 Aholiab: The Second Man
  5. 5 The Stewardship of Problems
Apply for The Founding Membership Read about the Institute

Nothing is charged on this website. If the President approves you, one letter comes with the terms, the sum and how to pay.

  1. Apply

    Write to us and say what you make, or what you want to learn to make. One form, read by a person of the Office — and while the Founding Membership stands, it is your application to it.

  2. Approval

    The President approves by hand. One letter comes back with the terms, what it costs, how to pay and your own reference — and it asks you to sign in with your Kingdom ID on that same email address, which is how the Institute knows you.

  3. Payment, and the school opens

    You pay outside this site; nothing is ever charged here. When the President has recorded it, the courses open — with the Board, the register of works, and a project of your own on it.

Ask about joining

Tell us who you are and what you make. The Office reads every one of these. If the President approves you, one letter comes back with the terms, what it costs and how to pay.

Already a member? Sign in with your Kingdom ID — the Board, the courses and your bench are behind that door. Sign in.

Apply with the email address your Kingdom ID uses.

Where you would be paying from

The Institute asks a different amount in Uganda than outside it. The figure is in the letter the President sends if he approves you.

And when a maker has shipped, one of two doors opens.

The House door

Into the works

Stay and build what the ministry runs on — as a maker, then a master with apprentices of your own.

The world door

Into the spheres

Take it out — business, science, technology, government, the arts — as your own enterprise, still one of ours, still called back to teach.
